Hi guys, I am wondering if there is anywhere a list of characters which are not allowed in a unix file name. I gues somethin like ' or \ is not allowed, but what else? cheers Andy My old "Teach Yourself Unix" book makes it:

!@#$%^&()[]'"?\|;<>`+- space tab backspace though it says technically some could be used but might cause problems. Hope this helps. Regards Chris
